Thank you.  Given that nothing in cidfmap is actually "necessary",
I moved the cidfmap file aside and replaced it with an empty file --
and got a similar error involving a different font name.  That new
name appeared in a file named FAPIcidfmap, and the problem went away
when I also replaced FAPIcidfmap with an empty file.

Bottom line:  the cause was a bug in the way Ghostscript is packaged
for this system, not a problem with Ghostscript itself.

BTW the cause and cure seem to be the same for the 8.71 package where
I originally encountered the problem, except that 8.71 does not have
a FAPIcidfmap to replace.
